The importance of connecting people in the
church cannot be overemphasized.
Relationships are the glue that holds a
church together.
![Page 4: Series passages that pump me up - part 9 the power of love - 07-26-15 - presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102903/55ce4205bb61eb8b2a8b45cc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
In a recent survey people were asked, “Why did you
join your church?” 93% said, “I joined because of
the pastor”.

When asked, “What if the pastor leaves, will you
leave?” That same 93% said, “No. Because I have
friends here!”

Strong relationships are one of the keys to a healthy church and no church will
be stronger than the relationships its people have with each other.

In fact, in the same survey, 400 church dropouts were asked why they left and 75% said “Nobody really
cared about me.”

love and it if isn't,

LOVE: THE 5 C’S OF GREAT
CHURCH RELATIONSHIPS
![Page 29: Series passages that pump me up - part 9 the power of love - 07-26-15 - presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102903/55ce4205bb61eb8b2a8b45cc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Here’s what I want you to do . . . pour yourselves out for each other in acts of love,
alert at noticing differences and quick
at mending fences.
![Page 30: Series passages that pump me up - part 9 the power of love - 07-26-15 - presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102903/55ce4205bb61eb8b2a8b45cc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
You were all called to travel on the same road and in the
same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly . . . What this adds
up to is this:
![Page 31: Series passages that pump me up - part 9 the power of love - 07-26-15 - presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102903/55ce4205bb61eb8b2a8b45cc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
no more lies, no more pretense. Tell each other the truth. In Christ’s body we’re all connected to each other,
after all. When you lie to others,
![Page 32: Series passages that pump me up - part 9 the power of love - 07-26-15 - presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102903/55ce4205bb61eb8b2a8b45cc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
you end up lying to yourself. Go ahead and be angry —
but don’t use your anger as fuel for revenge. And don’t stay angry. Don’t go to bed
angry.
![Page 33: Series passages that pump me up - part 9 the power of love - 07-26-15 - presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102903/55ce4205bb61eb8b2a8b45cc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Don’t give the Devil that kind of foothold in your
life . . . Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say
only what helps,
![Page 34: Series passages that pump me up - part 9 the power of love - 07-26-15 - presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102903/55ce4205bb61eb8b2a8b45cc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
each word a gift. Don’t grieve God. Don’t break his
heart . . . Make a clean break with all cutting, backbiting, profane talk. Be gentle with
one another,
![Page 35: Series passages that pump me up - part 9 the power of love - 07-26-15 - presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102903/55ce4205bb61eb8b2a8b45cc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and
thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you. (Ephesians 4:3-4,
25-32 – The Message)
![Page 36: Series passages that pump me up - part 9 the power of love - 07-26-15 - presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102903/55ce4205bb61eb8b2a8b45cc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Conflict Resolution We need to forgive
and not hold grudges

Connection We will grow stronger
as we grow closer
